Hailing from Tilburg, Netherlands, Reinier de Ridder trains out of Combat Brothers. "The Dutch Knight" fights as a UFC light heavyweight, utilizing a formidable grappling style established through black belts in judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Prior to his current run, he achieved dual-division glory by capturing both the middleweight and light heavyweight titles in ONE Championship.
Holding a 17-4 record ahead of UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues, de Ridder enters on a two-fight losing streak. After securing consecutive victories over Kevin Holland by submission, Bo Nickal by TKO, and Robert Whittaker by split decision, his momentum stalled. He suffered a corner-stoppage TKO against Brendan Allen followed by a unanimous decision defeat to Caio Borralho.
